Private companies and other delays are leaving deaf children without the possibility to get cured

Corruptive pressure from medical companies, in cooperation with the Public Procuration Commission, has made hundreds of patients remain deaf.
A medical innovation, cochlear implant, allows doctors to bring back hearing to patients with born defects or whose years have been damaged during the years.
The procedure is currently being done in some private hospitals only. The government decided to offer it through the public hospitals as well, but there have been endless delays for the past four years due to complaints by private companies, such as Evita sh.p.k, which owns 85% of the dialysis concession, and which is closely tied to a private hospital.
